She's not the only one who will do anything to win.
Talise has one goal: escape the desolate outer ring of the continent. To do it, she must win the emperor's competition and become the next Master Shaper. But the academy is full of trials she never expected, not least of which is Aaden, a gifted rival from the privileged inner circle of the empire.
He's arrogant, condescending, and far too observant. Every time they cross paths, the tension between them crackles with a heat that rivals her fire-shaping. He's a distraction she can't afford.
As the competition intensifies, a dark political conspiracy threatens to unravel the empire. Talise learns that winning isn't just about her own survival, it may be the only thing that can save them all.
